Things are looking pretty bleak if you're a sports fan in the Bay Area. The A's just won their first series since the white flag trades in July. The Giants have played better since the youth movement but are still so deep in the hole that only the Padres are keeping them from feeling the flames of the abyss. The Raiders are still the Raiders. The Niners are still the Niners. Even the Warriors are looking at starting the season without a point guard.
I never understood the Warriors' reluctance to negotiate with Baron Davis. Davis was a leader on the team who brought emotion to the floor unlike anyone since the RUN TMC days. But G.S. felt they could get by without Davis. Now it's time to pay the piper. Monta Ellis is injured and out for three months. G.S. has no experienced backup. If you want to know what happens to teams without a true point guard, just look at the Warriors' record before Davis came aboard.
It's going to be a long fall and winter.
